Origin
This Raga is created by Pt. Kumar Gandharva with giving more tint of Bilawal in Bihagda - So phrase PNDNS' - DnP is used. The phrase GmPDnS'-DnP is also a unique phrase of this Raga which is not in original Bihagda. This is a version of Kumar Ji's thought of Bihagda, so he must have named it as "Malaw Bihagro" (as he used to live in Malwa) - the Bandish in this Raga also portrays the beauty of the fertile land of Malwa.
